He means that there isn't an icon defined in the code snippet given.

mob
    Login()
        if(usr.key=="Mxjerrett")
            icon = 'mob.dmi'
            usr.verbs += typesof(/mob/Admin/verb/)
        else
            icon = 'man.dmi'

mob/verb/Fly()
    var/fly=0
    var/originalicon
    set category = "Admin"
    
    if(!fly)
        density=0
        usr<<"You begin to fly."
        fly=1
        originalicon= icon//sets the variable for originalicon to equal what the icon was before taking flight for later recall
        icon= "testmob.dmi"//changes icon to testmob.dmi
    else 
        density=1
        usr<<"You land on the ground."
        fly=0
        icon= originalicon// recalls the original icon

Is this what you wanted to do? It should work but I haven't tested it.

its kinda choppy but i altered the code to this

Fly()
                set category = "Admin"
                if(!fly){density=0;usr<<"You begin to fly.";fly=1;originalicon= icon;icon = 'testmob.dmi'}
                else {density=1;usr<<"You land on the ground.";fly=0;src.icon= originalicon}


var/originalicon
mob/var/fly=0
</dm?

I don't mean to try to tell you how you should code your own work but it appears to me that you are just getting familiar with the DM language. I'd reccomend that you start out with formatting your code the way I showed you. You should put the proc definitions on seperate lines instead of using semicolons and keeping them on the same line. It's easier on the eyes and allows beginners to grasp the concept of what belongs inside what. It just seems like a more organized way to code to me. Also I recommend that you define the variables originalicon and fly inside the proc instead of at a global scope. That is, unless you use those variables outside of the proc, but i doubt it.

MxJerret, REALLY now, stop copy/pasting off forums, stop the user abuse, and read the DM guide. This has gone outrageous!

What was the previous guy's name? Vegeto or something? Vejito? o.o

Firstly, you need to call the parent in mob/Login(). Else Login() will never finish properly. Also, using usr in a Login() proc is a big no-no. You might find reading the UsrLecture usefull.

And can you give a better explanation of what you're wanting to do? I don't understand a thing...

It'd be nice if you gave me a credit for my code next time...
Don't copy from examples, learn from them. Bah.
As for changing icons, just add ;icon='icon.dmi' or somthing.

Well it might be because you have to put the code in the {}



    Fly()
        set category = "Admin"
        if(!fly){density=0;usr<<"You begin to fly.";fly++;originalicon= icon;icon = 'testmob.dmi'}   else {density=1;usr<<"You land on the ground.";fly--;src.icon= originalicon}


Please don't copy and paste your not learning much i only did it to show you what you have to do and PLEASE PRETTY PLEASE stop taking credity for everything that isn't yours andi doubt you have much of the game your working on its all snippets off the forums READ THE DM guide and REFERENCE please pretty god damn please

mob/admin/verb/Fly()
  set category="Admin"
  density=!density // Reverse the density.
  usr<<"[(!density)?"You begin to fly.":"You land on the ground."]" // Ternary statement based off usr's current density to display proper message.
  icon=(!density)?'testmob.dmi':initial(icon) // Ternary statement to determine what usr's icon is set to, if no density then the testmob.dmi icon, or else the initial icon set at compile-time for the mob.
